Moments Of Joy

TREANMOR looked something out of the ordinary when bolting up on debut at Newmarket 5 weeks ago, a win forecasted by the betting, and he can make it 2-2 with the step up to 7f sure to suit. Humidity, a full brother to 2022 winner Holloway Boy, made a perfect start at Newbury and looks a big player. Aidan O'Brien has won this 5 times in the last 9 years, including twice with fillies who took the same Leopardstown maiden Moments of Joy did a fortnight ago, and she seems sure to be in the mix.

Rebel's Romance

Al Riffa

Ghostwriter

Group 1 winners REBEL'S ROMANCE and Al Riffa escape a penalty for this Group 2 with clear preference for the former under the likely fast conditions. Ghostwriter is another who often keeps better company so needs considering, too. 

Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes (Group 1)

Lazzat

Satono Reve

Flora Of Bermuda

It's been slim pickings for overseas raiders in this contest in recent years but that may change with SATONO REVE and Lazzat of particular interest. A stiff 6f looks absolutely ideal and with firm ground no issue, the Japanese representative is preferred. Last year's Commonwealth Cup winner Inisherin commands serious respect, too. 

Jersey Stakes (Group 3)

Noble Champion

Spy Chief

Comanche Brave

An open look to the Jersey. REMMOOZ quickened clear in the style of a really smart colt at Doncaster last time and is selected to take the significant step up in class in his stride and remain unbeaten. Irish 2000 Guineas fifth Comanche Brave should prove suited by the return to 7f and is second choice ahead of Greenham third Saracen, like the selection a lightly-raced sort who should have more to come. Marvelman completes the shortlist.

Get It

More Thunder

Ten Pounds

Holkham Bay

William Haggas took this 12 months ago and can repeat the feat with MORE THUNDER who impressed when bagging a pair of Newmarket handicaps for his new yard in the spring and promises to do a fair bit better here over this stiffer 6f. Andrew Balding's Purosangue looks primed for a bold showing and could emerge as the main danger, although a good case can also be made for Aramram, Woodhay Wonder, Golden Mind and Jarraaf in a typically ultra-competitive Wokingham. 

Golden Gates Stakes (Handicap)

Sky Bet paying 6 places instead of 4

Quai De Bethune

Seraph Gabriel

Best Secret

SERAPH GABRIEL is drawn a bit wider than ideal but is still given the chance to build on the considerable promise of his Sandown reappearance second in the spring. Glen To Glen has switched to Joseph O'Brien since his good second in a warm Leopardstown handicap in March and is a potentially dangerous opponent. French raider Best Secret and London Gold Cup 3-4 Quai de Bethune and Ernst Blofeld also make the shortlist. 

Queen Alexandra Stakes (Conditions Race) (GBBPlus Race)

Sober

Samui

Wild Waves

A smart stayer on the Flat in France for Andre Fabre (dual Group 2 winner), SOBER made the perfect start for his new yard when successful over hurdles at Killarney 6 weeks ago. He makes plenty of appeal returned to this sphere for a stable that has won this race 4 times. Samui was an encouraging third in a handicap over shorter here earlier in the week and is feared. Wild Waves and Dallas Star are others in the mix.
